          Hello,
          We have a website of a furniture company that runs an Adwords campaign. This company has a lot of distributors. They have several objetives:

          • people explore the online catalog
          • people visit the distributor page (where they can find the nearest distributor in his/her area)
          • people share the pictures and info in social media. (For example: pictures in pinterest)
          • people watch videos
          • new distributors contact them to be a new distributor

          and so on. As this is not an eccommerce website they can not buy

          We have created objectives in analytics to meassure those engament results.
          My question is how to measure this in Google Adwords...
          If I import GA objetives into adwords, I get conversions rates of 350% and even more, and the number of conversions is to high. For example. If one objetive is to visit Distributors page (the one where users can see a map and search for the nearest distributor), I find with a lot of conversions of this type.

          I was thinking in importing some objectives and giving them a value in $ and instead of evaluating conversion rates, evaluate ROAS.

          But I really would like to know, what you are doing with this kind of companies. How do you measure the campaign success when most of the objetives are measuring engagement.

          Please, could you give me any advice?

          Thank you!

              I would focus on the goals that historically lead to revenue. If they all do, calculate that. None of these things should be a page visit though, that's not a strong engagement metric. If I were you, I'd do:

              1. Visit duration threshold (objective:people explore the online catalog)

              2. This might help, it talks about support sites, which isn;t you, but if you implement it correctly, it can help you, just don't copy this implementation https://blog.kissmetrics.com/pageviews-time-on-site/

              3. Click on a distributors website, track each individually (objective: people visit the distributor page)

              4. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033068?vid=1-635779271421213638-3696063864

              5. Click on top social sites share buttons (objective: people share the pictures and info in social media)

              6. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033068?vid=1-635779271421213638-3696063864

              7. After 30 seconds of video watch, it registers the goal (objective: people watch videos)

              8. analytics.js and Tag Manager: http://www.lunametrics.com/blog/2015/05/11/updated-youtube-tracking-google-analytics-gtm/

              9. ga.js: http://www.lunametrics.com/blog/2010/11/09/video-tracking-google-analytics-introduction/

              10. Contact form completion (objective: new distributors contact them to be a new distributor)

              The articles above are sometime ga.js, the old version of analytics. If you are running analytics.js, you'll need to work with Tag Manager. Hope that makes sense and helps.

                As you mentioned above, giving each objective a $ value is going to be absolutely necessary to measure ROAS. Hopefully, you can use some historical data to help you come up with the numbers.

                  Endless Scrolling and prev/next

                  Hi, We have a new website on https://www.neakriti.gr We have asked for endless scrolling between our articles, so when we get at the end of one article, the next loads. Looking at the produced html code I saw the articles contain and to other articles. When I asked the development team why this happens, I got a reply that its needed for the endless scroll of the articles.  But to my understanding "prev" and "next" is only used on pagination cases, and endless scroll between articles has nothing to do pagination. Here is an example article
                  https://www.neakriti.gr/article/ellada-nea/1524252/fthinoporinos-o-kairos-tin-tetarti-stin-kriti-deite-analutika-tin-prognosi/ If you "view html code" on that article you will see this "next", "prev" declarations to other articles. Can anyone please let me know if the declaration of "prev" and "next" articles should stay or if I should ask the development team to remove it? Thanks

                  Two companies merging into a new website. How to merge two existing websites into a brand new website and preserve search rankings.

                  Brand A and Brand B are merging to form Brand C. Brand A has a great search presence (prominent rankings, answer boxes, and impressive organic traffic). Brand B has a good reputation in real life but their web presence was extremely weak (we've been helping with that over the past few months and it is improving). What are the steps we need to take? The previous domains from Brand A and Brand B are going away and we need to promote the newly minted Brand C website. This Q/A summarizes what we want to do but with one exception: They only discuss merging Brand A into BRand B and there is no Brand C.

                  Ecommerce & Outreach

                  Hey, Does anyone have any advice on how to approach outreach for an ecommerce site? We're in the process of doing user guides, for niche products. I wondered if this was a good angle to approach relevant communities/sites. Or is this too time consuming for little value at the end? Is it PR outreach we should look to focus on? Thank you 🙂

                  1 Website, 2 Business Names, 2 Locations

                  I took on a dentist office as an SEO client. They have 1 website, 2 business names and 2 locations. Each location has it's own business name. They are both within the same city as well. I'm not exactly sure where to start with them since they have 2 different business names. If it were 1 name with multiple locations I would just create a Contact Us page for each one, but is that the best thing to do when the location names are different? Should I create a different website for each location or is that smart because then they are competing against each other? Any help from the community on the direction I should take would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

                  Is having two websites that sell most of the same products a good idea?

                  Hi - Please read this in full before you answer. I currently own a website that sells kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities that match the kitchens. This website has been operational since Arpil 2009 and we have built good rankings over the past 3 years. The site is operated on the Volusion platform (my mistake from the beginning, but we're kind of stuck now). We are in the process of designing a new website on the Magento platform - everything will be 100% different from look, speed, the way our customers shop, content, product skus, etc. The original plan was to keep the same domain but implement 301 redirects for subpages (subpage urls would have to change) and shut down the Volusion site and transfer the domain name to the Magento site. Our current website does make money right now and we would hate to lose rankings (even if only temporarily) during the switch or have something go wrong. What I am now thinking is keeping our current website on Volusion where it is currently making money and having the new Magento site have a new name/domain. The sites would sell most of the same products (the Magento site would sell more types of vanities and accessories though). The two sites would have different email addresses, phone numbers, and mailing addresses. Is it a bad idea to try and rank two websites selling pretty much the same thing? We have competitors out there that sell the same products as us, I would just prefer to compete with myself rather then someone else. Another issue is our name, one of our competitors names is extremely close to ours and we rank for pretty much all of the same keywords and customers get us mixed up all the time. This other site would have a different name (one that makes more sense). I want to make a decision that will not come back and bite us later. I know there are a lot of bigger sites that operate tons of niche sites, and of these website could eventually be similar to that. I really appreciate your help and guidance! Thanks

                  The Franchise Challenge: How should I handle 200 franchisee websites?

                  Hi all.. this is not a question about how this can be done but which is better for SEO. Franchises make up 8% of the USA small business market.  This is no small potatoes.  But everything about Google seems designed for the unique, stand-alone business (Places, Analytics, Adwords, Duplicate Content Rules, etc.)  ... I think about this issue a lot so wanted to put it to the community. Imagine a franchisor with 200 locations.  This company licenses its brand and business operations system - that's what a franchise is.  So each local franchisee starts out with a "content ready" website template which they are required to use for brand compliance. (Each local franchisee has a Google Place page and a Local Website in their territory.)Assuming each solution has the same number of local citations around 50% duplicate content on its services pages (e.g. branding text)... which of the following does Google like best? A single, customized CMS (e.g. Drupal) which places each franchisee site in a subfolder of the TLD.  Highly duplicated services pages are given canonical pointers to the main site's version.
                  domain.com/location A single, customized CMS (e.g. Drupal) which places each franchisee in a subdomain of the TLD.  Highly duplicated services pages are given canonical pointers to the main site's version. location.domain.com A multi-manager dashboard (e.g. ManageWP) which operates an individual Wordpress installs on a single server (dedicated self-install server, sites share IPs)
                  _localdomain.com _ A multi-manager dashboard which operates an individual Wordpress install on multiple, diverse servers (e.g. shared hosting on diverse hosts.)
                  localdomain.com I know that the best case would be for each franchisee individually to be so motivated to set up their own site and properly use brand elements, get links, etc. but this is impractical (trust me.)~~~~~~(*update 4/4/13 - I have written a blog post which describes what I think is the ideal franchise web marketing & SEO program and would welcome additional comments!)

                  Google Displays Domain / URL Above Description?

                  I am seeing a new SERP format from Google. (new for me at least) In the past the title tag would display as the first line of a listing, followed by description and domain / URL. Today I see the domain / URL as the second line. This is placing an emphasis on "Who".  If you have a big brand or a great URL this might be helpful to your CTR. Are you seeing this?  What do you think of it?
